Depending on the trim, you might even be able to hide the coax cable underneath the trim.

I know it's a pain in the ass, but you might need to start knocking small holes in the wall and fishing a Coax cable all the way.Īnother option is if there is a crawlspace or attic above the ceiling, or conversely a basement or space under the floor.Īnother option is to run the Coax cable along the wall trim along the floor, or in the corner between the wall and the ceiling (just pick a Coax cable the same colour roughly as your paint). How many walls are between the TV and the Network Rack? Also, what's the wall construction like? Wood frames with Drywall? Concrete? Something else? Thus I need the cable set top box to be located with the TV itself and thus I'm looking for a device which will convert the coaxial signal from my network rack to ethernet, this ethernet wire then flows down to the TV unit, there it should again convert back to coaxial and then connect with my set top box. However, at the moment, in India, we do not have a pleasent viewing experience while viewing internet TV as the switching of channels contains a lot of hassles which is not at all elder friendly (i have grandparents living with me who are not very tech savvy).

His issue is that the contractor who installed. The Set-top Box then outputs HDMI, which goes into the TV. This coax cable then runs to the Set-top Box (Satellite Receiver).

I have already put in a coaxial cable from my terrace top to the network rack and have taken a satellite TV connection which is functional at my network rack. The complete interior of the home is completed and it is not possible for me to run a coaxial cable now to the tv. These ethernet cables go to my network rack which is situated at a distance of 40m from the TV. The electrical contractor did not leave coaxial cable in the space of TV unit and instead left 3 ethernet cables. I am in a bit of worry for setting up satellite TV at my living room.
